I’m not going to feel bad for listening to anyone white, black, purple, or green for reporting a crime. America has a long checkered history of dismissing crimes based upon the source.
Waiting for this to either be revealed as a Sacha Baron Cohen stunt, or claiming mental illness. Or that these latest updates are another unconfirmed “leak.”
When people try to pull this off at this level- does it ever succeed? I can think of a few of these over the years- runaway Bride, the monsters that kill their wives and act like they have no idea where she is, and then you get into balloon boy, and the girl that threw acid on herself, etc. These things are almost alwa…
The thing I don’t love about people in the greys is that they intentionally get taken out when they’re obvious trolls. You trolls are a pathetic lot.
I appreciate the info and I was definitely speaking anecdotally a local law enforcement agency which doesn’t require more than a GED and has a huge brutality problem (LA County Sheriff’s Dept)
It would also help in police officers were required to have an education beyond a GED, preferably something like Criminal Justice or Law, hell, create an Associates/Bachelor’s of Law Enforcement. As it stands, most cops could just as easily be criminals if it weren’t for the police academy.
Please refer to The Root article “There Are No Good Cops.” I am truly holding back with how I feel about the police because it really isn’t nice.
The thing I love about people in the greys is that their gotchas are almost always non-starters. Reading comprehension would help this thirsty chalk demon in particular as I never stated that they took him to BK. If it’s policy to shoot threats, he should have ate bullets instead of a Whopper.
As this is Baltimore, I’ll share this I saw on the news yesterday:
Wait, you mean like that white guy (people?) in SC who shot police officers trying to serve a warrant for arrest and somehow succeeded in getting him alive? How many police were injured that day?
So is Dylan Roof on the hook for his Burger King? Cuz clearly armed suspects taken by the police aren’t entitled to anything. Oh wait. I forgot to take the differences into account. Roof had just committed mass murder in a place of worship and was taken alive. Gaines was being served a warrant and ended up dead.…
And because trolls revel in proving every nasty stereotype about white people right here’s some cretin who decided to leave his brain droppings in my inbox.
It wasn’t hostage situation, stop mischaracterizing it as such. And maybe this award is for loss of a family member to callous government hitmen psychos. Yeah she had a gun, because she didn’t want to be another god damn victim. Yeah she was mentally ill, but so are the Bundys. They were serving a warrant, not…
The rules under which police departments in this country operate and their hiring practices both need massive overhauls. Law enforcement attracts ex-military types and military wannabees, gun nuts, and people looking for a power trip. The culture around law enforcement officers is also generally conservative/right…
We still seat juries because not doing so would indicate the collapse of our democratic systems in a way that is too easy to refute.
Couldn’t agree with this more. EVERY time someone brings up how blacks who are shot/killed by officers “shouldn’t have been (insert excuse here),” I bring up how serial killers (majority of whom are white) are almost always either captured alive or die because they commit suicide. No one ever has a good comeback ...…
And of course the idiot racist trolls who flock to these stories like flies on shit to say stupid shit just can’t fucking stay the hell away. Disgusting!
“Corporal Ruby was not required to be absolutely sure of the nature and extent of the threat Gaines posed.”
So many aspects of this case are disturbing but the one that’s foremost in my mind is the utter glee with which LEO’s seem to look forward to killing Black people as evidenced by how many other standoffs with white people don’t end in death. Standoffs with whites who are armed, have published anti-government…
